Exessive power output on version 0.13 with 6700

I loaded the new version yesterday but did not get to do any testing. With the new version I am getting very high power output. My external meter is peaking at 160W (80M) with the slider set to 100. This is probably not a good thing. The drive level is below 0dB.

TUNE in SSB is no different than tune in CW. Set your power slider to 100 and adjust your mic gain/CMP so that you do not exceed 0db on peaks. Give a long Heeeeeellllooo and see what your external and radio meters say. I don't have a problem in CW or using TUNE. Just when using voice. I did not check digital modes yet.

I just checked in CW and I am getting 135W out on the external meter. SSDR showing right about 120 on the bar graph. Something with the last update is making my radio think its superman when its not....at least not yet. :)

Ah, but there is no "60w" setting on the radio. When you set RF out to "60" you are setting it to 60%, not 60w. That's how all of the flex radios have worked in the past and it's documented in the manual. If you want to see how much is coming out of the radio to the exact watt, you need to have a wattmeter on the output.

Well Greg, i can just comment what in SSB power higher then in CW roughly on 10% - 15%, but you are right this is abnormal too. In case selected 100 - should be 100 in all modes. Calibration is not 100% perfect at the moment.
